Baltimore Oriole – Intarsia

[FrankEV]

My 9” x 10 3/4 “pattern inspired by an Artist rendition of a Baltimore Oriole.  Wood used: Aspen, Black Limba, Blue Pine, Osage Orange, Poplar, Sapele, Yellowheart, Walnut, and Wenge mounted on a 1/8” thick BB ply backer.  Finished with multiple coats of spray Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish.    

 

Comments and critiques always welcome.

I will post the pattern in Pattern Exchange.

Excellent work as always! Love the osage orange. Will that hold it's color over time with the finish?

[FrankEV]

All wood will darkening over time if exposed to sun light.  With good solid finish materials like Poly, Lacquer and Acrylic darkening will not occur for a long time.  Finishes with UV protection can retard darkening even more.
